Causes of Damage
NOTICES
▯ Do not place accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or
ovenware on the oven cavity bottom. This will prevent
the oven from heating properly resulting in increased
cooking (or baking and roasting) times and overheat
the oven cavity bottom causing damage to the enamel.
▯ Aluminum foil: Aluminum foil in the oven cavity must
not come into contact with the door glass. This could
cause permanent discoloration of the door glass.
▯ Water in a hot oven cavity: Do not pour water into the
oven cavity when it is hot. This will cause steam. The
change in temperature can cause damage to the
enamel.
▯ Moisture in the oven cavity: Over an extended period
of time, moisture in the oven cavity may lead to
corrosion. Allow the oven cavity to dry after use. Do
not keep moist food in the closed oven cavity for
extended periods of time. Do not store food in the
oven cavity.
▯ Cooling with the appliance door open: Following
operation at high temperatures, only allow the oven
cavity to cool down with the door closed. Do not use
anything to block the door from closing. Even if the
door is only left ajar, the front of nearby furniture may
become damaged over time.
Only leave the oven cavity to dry with the door open if
a large amount of moisture was produced during
operation.
▯ Fruit juice: When baking juicy fruit pies, do not pack
the dish too generously. Dripping fruit juice leaves
stains that cannot be removed. If possible, place on a
baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
▯ Dirty gasket: If the steam oven door gasket is dirty, the
appliance door may not close properly during
operation. The fronts of adjacent cabinets could be
damaged. Always keep the gasket clean.
▯ Appliance door: Do not sit on the appliance door, or
place or hang anything on it. Do not place any
cookware or accessories on the appliance door. The
appliance door should never be used as a seat, shelf
or worktop.
▯ Inserting accessories: Depending on the appliance
type, accessories can scratch the door glass when
closing the door. Always fully slide accessories into
the oven cavity.
▯ Transporting the appliance: Do not carry or hold the
appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot
support the weight of the appliance and could break.
Protecting the Environment
Your new appliance is energy-efficient. Here you can find
tips on how to save even more energy when using the
appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance
properly.
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in
an environmentally friendly manner.
Saving Energy
▯ You may remove unneeded oven racks or accessories
from the oven cavity before cooking. This will reduce
the amount of preheat time required.
▯ Open the appliance door as infrequently as possible
when the appliance is in use.
▯ It is best to bake several cakes one after the other
while the cavity is still warm and the oven does not
need to preheat again.
▯ Keep your oven clean and avoid grease buildup as
this may lengthen preheat times and increase
emissions.

Tested for You in Our Cooking Studio
This chapter is a selection of dishes and the ideal
settings for them along with the proper heating methods
and temperatures best suited for the dish. Information on
suitable cooking accessories and the proper rack level in
the oven along with tips about cookware and preparation
is provided.
Note: A lot of steam can build up in the oven cavity
when cooking food.
Your appliance is very energy-efficient and radiates very
little heat to its surroundings during operation. Due to the
high difference in temperature between the appliance
interior and the external parts of the appliance,
condensation may build up on the door, control panel, or
adjacent kitchen cabinet panels. This is normal. Open the
door slowly and carefully when operating the oven.
Cakes and Small Baked Items
The appliance offers a range of heating types for the
preparation of cakes and small baked items. The ideal
settings for many dishes can be found in the settings
tables.
Only use original accessories supplied with the
appliance. These have been tailored to the cooking
compartment and the operating modes of the appliance.
Wire Rack
Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the
appliance door and the curved lip pointing downwards.
Always place cookware, baking pans and dishes on the
wire rack.
Baking pans
Shiny aluminum baking pans are most suitable.
Baking pans, ceramic and glass dishes extend baking
time and can cause the food to not brown evenly.
Parchment Paper
Only use parchment paper that is suitable for the
selected temperature. Always cut parchment paper to
size.
Silicone Molds
For optimal cooking results, shiny aluminum bakeware is
recommended.
If using silicone molds, follow the manufacturer's
instructions and recipes. Silicone molds are often smaller
than normal baking pans. Quantity and recipe
specifications may vary.
Silicone molds are unsuitable for steam-assisted cooking
and steaming.
Recommended Setting Values
The table lists the optimal heating mode for food items.
The temperature and baking time depend on the amount
and consistency of the food. For this reason, setting
ranges are indicated. Try using the lower values to start
with. A lower temperature results in more even browning.
You can increase the temperature next time if necessary.
Note: Baking times cannot be reduced by using higher
temperatures. Cakes or small baked items would only be
cooked on the outside, and would not be fully baked in
the middle.
Preheating is necessary for cakes and baked goods. Do
not place your food or accessories into the oven cavity
until it has finished preheating. Preheating is not required
for meats or frozen convenience foods when using the
appropriate modes.
If you wish to follow one of your own recipes when
baking, you should use similar baked goods in the table
as a reference. Additional information can be found in the
baking tips table.
Remove unused accessories from the oven cavity. This
will ensure that you achieve the best possible cooking
results.

Heating Modes - Steam Oven
Heating Modes - Steam Oven
Here, you can find descriptions of heating modes and
recommendations for best cooking results.
Also refer to the cooking charts following this section for
more information.
Only use original accessories supplied with your
appliance. These have been tailored to the oven cavity
and operating modes of your appliance.
Steam- assisted baking
Certain types of baked item (e.g. yeast-risen pastries) get
more and more glossy if baked with the Add Steam
mode. The baked item does not dry out as much.
Steam-assisted baking is only possible on one rack.
Some food turns out best if they are baked in several
stages. These dishes are indicated in the table.
True Convection
True Convection cooks with heat from a third element
behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated
throughout the oven evenly by the convection fan.
True Convection is well suited for baking individual
serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is
also good for baking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the
same time. Baking cookies on all racks simultaneously is
possible. In this case, the baking time increases slightly.
Tips:
▯ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F (5°C). Refer to
the cooking charts at the end of the manual for more
information.
▯ Always preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
▯ Place food on baking sheets with low sides or in
shallow, uncovered pans.
▯ Allow at least 1" to 1½" (2 to 3 cm) of air space
around all sides of the pan.
▯ Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window
to periodically check for doneness instead of opening
the door.
Convection Bake
Convection Bake uses heat emitted from the upper and
lower heating elements. The convection fan distributes
heat evenly throughout the oven cavity.
Convection Bake is well suited for cakes, breads,
casseroles and entrees. It is also recommended when
cooking on multiple racks since the heat from the top
and bottom of the oven are distributed evenly with help of
the fan.
Tips:
▯ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F (5°C). Refer to
the cooking charts at the end of the manual for more
information.
▯ Always preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
▯ Place food on baking sheets with low sides or in
shallow, uncovered pans.
▯ Allow at least 1" to 1½" (2 to 3 cm) of air space
around all sides of the pan.
▯ Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window
to periodically check for doneness instead of opening
the door.
Bake
In Bake mode, the upper and lower elements cycle to
maintain the oven temperature. Bake mode can be used
to prepare a variety of food items from cake and pastries
to casseroles.
Tips:
▯ Always preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
▯ Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of
the bakeware. Shiny aluminum bakeware is
recommended for optimal food results. Dark metal
pans or nonstick coatings will bake faster and with
darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the
bake time for most foods.
▯ Allow at least 1" to 1½" (2 to 3 cm) of air space
around all sides of the pan.
▯ Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window
to periodically check for doneness instead of opening
the door.
Convection Roast
Convection Roast uses heat from the top and bottom
elements as well as heat circulated by the convection
fan.
This mode is well suited for preparing tender cuts of
meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting
vegetables. Using Convection Roast can help reduce
cooking time by as much as 25% and allows for rich
golden browning on the food.
Tips:
▯ Preheating the oven is not necessary.
▯ Let meat stand covered with foil for 10-15 minutes
after removing it from the oven.
▯ If meat is browned to your liking but not yet
done, place foil over the meat to prevent
overbrowning.
▯ Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow
uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.
▯ Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
▯ Check doneness early since roasting time may
decrease. Refer to the Meat and Poultry cooking chart
for examples.
▯ Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
▯ Refer to the Meat and Poultry cooking chart for
recommended rack positions and cooking time.
11
Roast
Roast uses both the upper and lower elements to
maintain the oven temperature. Roasting uses more
intense heat from the upper element than the lower
element. This results in more browning of the exterior
while the inside remains especially moist.
Roast is suited for meat and poultry and less tender cuts
of meat.
Tips:
▯ Preheating the oven is not necessary.
▯ Use a high sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover with
a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
▯ For less tender cuts of meats, add liquids such as
water, juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and
moisture.
▯ Roasting bags and using a lid are suitable for this
mode.
▯ When roasting whole turkey or chicken, tuck wings
behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.
Convection Broil
Convection Broil combines intense heat from the upper
element with heat circulated by a convection fan.
This mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of
meat, poultry and fish. It is not recommended for
browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always
use Convection Broil with the door closed.
Tips:
▯ Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do no preheat for more
than 5 minutes.
▯ Steaks and chops should be at least 1 ½" (3 cm)
thick.
▯ Use a broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal
rack for broiling.
▯ Turn meats once during cook time. Fish does not need
to be turned.
▯ Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex); it cannot tolerate
the high temperature.
▯ Refer to the Meat and Poultry cooking chart for
recommended rack positions and cooking time.
Broil
Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.
The Broil Mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender
cuts of meat (1” or less), poultry and fish. It can also be
used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with
the door closed.
Tips:
▯ Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do no preheat for more
than 5 minutes.
▯ Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" (2 cm) thick.
▯ Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent
sticking.
▯ Use a broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal
rack for broiling.
▯ Turn meats once during cook time. Fish does not need
to be turned.
▯ When top browning casseroles, use only metal or
glass ceramic dishes such as CorningWare.
▯ Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex); it cannot tolerate
the high temperature.
▯ Refer to the Meat and Poultry cooking chart for
recommended rack positions and cooking time.
Pizza
Use Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza. During this
mode, heat from the upper and lower elements is
circulated throughout the oven cavity by the convection
fan.
Tips:
▯ There may be a slight decrease in baking time. Check
before minimum package time.
▯ When baking a frozen pizza:
▯ For crispy crust, place the pizza directly on the rack.
▯ For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
▯ When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil
and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to
prevent crust formation.
▯ Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
▯ If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally
with cornmeal to help transfer the dough to the pan.
▯ If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough
with a fork before baking.
Speed Convection
Speed Convection uses all heating elements with the
convection fan to evenly distribute heat throughout the
oven cavity. This mode is recommended for frozen
convenience foods and does not require preheating.
When using Speed Convection in a double oven, only
one cavity is available at a time.
By cooking with Speed Convection you can decrease
your overall cooking time since preheating is not
necessary. Foods are evenly browned and crisp on the
outside.
Tips:
▯ Cook all foods in a cold, non-preheated oven. The
food will still be done in package time.
▯ Follow the package instructions for time and
temperature.
▯ Frozen foods sold in microwaveable containers should
not be used.
▯ Cook food items on rack 4 unless directed otherwise
by the food manufacturer.
12
Slow Roast
Slow Roast uses the upper and lower elements at low
temperatures to gently cook meat. Meat will be evenly
cooked throughout.
This mode is best suited for large boneless cuts of meat.
Place cookware in the oven and allow the oven to heat
up for about 10 minutes. Sear meat on the cooktop on all
sides, then place into the preheated cookware.
Dehydrate
Dehydrate dries heat with a third element behind the
back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout
the oven by the convection fan.
Use Dehydrate to dry and/or preserve foods such as
fruits, vegetables and herbs. The oven stays on 24 hours
before shutting off automatically.
Tips:
▯ Dry most fruits and vegetables at 150°F (65°C). Dry
herbs at 100°F (40°C). Refer to the Dehydrate chart
for examples.
▯ Drying times vary depending on the moisture and
sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the
amount being dried and the humidity in the air. Check
food at minimum drying time.
▯ Multiple drying racks (not included) can be used
simultaneously.
▯ Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.

Warm
In Warm, the upper and lower elements maintain a low
temperature in the oven cavity in order to keep food at
serving temperature.
This mode can be used to keep cooked foods warm until
ready to serve. Foods that should be kept moist should
be covered with a lid or with aluminum foil.
Steam
During steaming, hot steam surrounds the food and
prevents the loss of nutrients from the food. The shape,
color, and aroma of the dishes are retained.
You can cook a whole meal at once without different
flavors or aromas mixing. Place the food with the longest
cooking time in the appliance first and delay the rest until
the appropriate cooking time. The overall cooking time
will be extended with this feature, as steam escapes
each time the oven door is opened and has to be
reheated.
If the water tank runs dry during steam, the operation is
interrupted. Fill the water tank. Once the water tank is
placed back into the oven cavity, steaming will resume.
Steam Convection
This mode uses the upper and lower elements along with
the convection fan to move the hot air around the cavity.
Steam is added to help with the cooking process. With
added steam the food becomes crispy on the outside
while remaining juicy and tender on the inside.
If the water tank runs dry during steam, the operation is
interrupted. Fill the water tank. Once the water tank is
placed back into the oven cavity, steaming will resume.
Reheat
Reheat mode uses steam to gently reheat. It tastes and
looks as though it has been freshly prepared. Baked
items from the day before can be re-crisped.
Use containers that are flat and heat resistant. Cold
containers prolong the re-heating process.
When possible, only reheat dishes of the same size and
type at the same time. If this is not possible, use the
required time for the food item with the longest reheating
time. Place the food in the cookware onto the wire rack
on rack position 1.
Do not open the oven door during operation, steam will
escape.
Proof
Dough will proof more quickly using Proof mode. It will
also ensure the dough will not dry out. Only start Proof
mode when the oven compartment has fully cooled
down.
Allow yeast dough to proof twice. Use the table for
setting recommendations for both proof processes.
Dough Fermentation
Position the dough bowl on the wire rack. Use the
settings indicated in the table. Do not open the oven
door during the proofing process as moisture will
escape. Do not cover the dough.
Final Fermentation
Place the dough into the oven on the rack level indicated
in the specific cooking charts in the section Steam Oven
Cooking Charts or Conventional Oven Cooking Charts.
Wipe moisture from the oven cavity before baking.
Defrost
This mode is suitable for defrosting frozen fruit and
vegetables. Poultry, meat and fish should ideally be
defrosted in the refrigerator.
Auto Convection Conversion
True Convection and Convection Bake modes require a
25° F (10 °C) reduction in temperature. Auto Convection
Conversion reduces the temperature you enter
automatically.
Enter the package or recipe temperature when setting
the mode. The oven control calculates the correct
temperature for these modes automatically by reducing
the input temperature by 25° F (10 °C). This is then
shown in the display.
Steam Programs
Preparing food is very easy using the various programs.
Select a program either directly through the appliance or
by using the Home Connect App. Enter the food’s weight
or amount. The program then runs automatically and
notifies you when your food is finished cooking.
To achieve the best results, the oven cavity must not be
too hot for the type of food selected. If the cavity is too
hot, a message will appear on the display. Allow the oven
cavity to cool down and start again.
9 WARNING
RISK OF SCALDING
Hot steam can escape when you open the
appliance door. Steam is not visible at certain
temperatures. Do not stand too close to the
appliance when opening it. Open the appliance
door with caution. Keep children away.

Information on the Settings
▯ The cooking result depends on the quality of the food
and the type of cookware. For an optimal cooking
result, use food that is fresh. For frozen food, use food
straight out of the freezer only.
▯ For some dishes, you will be required to enter the
weight. The appliance will then apply the time and
temperature settings for you.
It is not possible to set weights outside of the intended
weight range.
▯ Recommendations are provided on cookware, shelf
position or the addition of liquid when cooking meat.
Some food requires turning or stirring, etc. during
cooking. This is shown in the display shortly after
operation starts. An audible signal will remind you at
the right time.
▯ Information on the right kind of cookware to use and
tips and tricks for the preparation can be found in the
Cooking Tips and Instructions Guide provided with
your appliance. You may also touch the INFO button
on the control panel for this information.
